“A Hidden Gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

The approach to the Lodge - either by the road, or taking the alley between Heidi's Restaurant and CVS pharmacy - can give a person pause: at best, humble, at worst, dumpy. HOWEVER, these looks are definitely deceiving.

I stayed solo (friend cancelled) in a double queen, but have booked a single queen for next time. There is a great variety of rooms (including with kitchens), as well as spa packages, to meet the needs of just about everyone. The room was cozy, and the balcony view spectacular. Also, if you book on the 2nd floor, you will have access to both sauna and the Elements Spa (a separate but related business) without ever having to take stairs. The first floor, though, will give you the beach just a few steps away, and the third floor would be even more private and quiet. Exterior entrances and keys give it a rustic feel, and the lobby/breakfast room was welcoming and had a computer; wi-fi access is also available. Finally, the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

The location of the Lodge is fantastic - just a stoplight away from Ski Run Road (Heavenly), and about 1 mile after that from the casinos, if that's what you're looking for. There are lots of restaurants and a Safeway within walking distance, some of them accessible by walking along the beach (including the Tahoe Queen paddle boat). Safety didn't seem to be a concern at all.

My only complaints: I didn't find the bed that comfy, and a TV guide would have been helpful. FYI, my room had a DVD player, so keep that in mind as an option for room-based entertainment...

“Fantastic!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

My family and I had an incredible time at the Lakeshore Lodge and Spa. Our room was nice with a large deck overlooking the water and the staff was great. We took full advantage of the hotel being right on the water where we were steps from the pool/hot tub and beach. The location was perfect with casinos, wonderful restaurants and many outdoor activities minutes away. We plan on making our trip an annual event, and plan on staying at the Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge and Spa every year.

“Best Location on the Lake”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Nothing like sitting in a hot tub on the beach in January! This place is great... very clean and comfortable with the best location on the lake. The beach was right off the balcony. It is a short walk to restaurants and groceries. The staff was awesome.... very friendly and accomodating. I plan to stay there next time I am in Tahoe.

“Perfect Location, Great Facility, Nice Staff, Stunning Views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

There is really no better place to stay on the water in Lake Tahoe. The views are breathtaking at all times of the day or night. The location is perfect for skiing, sightseeing, gambling, or just resting and taking in the beauty of Lake Tahoe. The staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and updated. There are even condos available. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Room Tip: All of the rooms have a view of the lake.

“Highly Recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

I recently stayed at the Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge and would highly recommend the hotel. I had spent the days prior to my arrival in a studio unit at the nearby Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort. I had an extra night before my departure. The Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge was recommended by a local and I found it to be a good value as compared to most of the hotels in South Lake Tahoe. While I agree with the other reviewers that the exterior of the hotel is not that appealing, I believe that it more than makes up for it in other ways. At check-in, the staff was efficient, helpful and friendly. The room in was spacious, clean and loaded with character. The log bed, gas fireplace and mountain décor make it feel more like a cabin than a hotel room. The view was amazing. I don’t know if there are any accommodations in the area this close to the lake. The room I stayed in had new bedding, paint and carpet. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a small kitchen that looked to be very functional – much larger than the kitchenette I had in the studio unit at the Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort. The hotel was quiet, though there were not many other guests at the hotel the night of my stay so I can’t say how it would be on a busy night. The location was convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. My only complaint is that I couldn’t stay longer!

Room Tip: Kitchen rooms to save money on dining; First floor to walk out on to the beach from your room.
